What's so Great about them? There's a bloody lot of you around them. Hello Sinister Children. As some of you know, I mentioned the hope of getting a midwest/Great Lakes picnic together sometime before the end of summer. The response I got was heartwarming, it seems I could build a small twee army out of the number of folks who wrote me to say that they were from the Great Lakes area and that a picnic was an ace idea. So, where are we at, picnic wise, you ask? Well, now that I know that there's a large number of you waning to attend, we have to decide a few things. Things like, where are we going to have said picnic? Suggestions were made, and at the moment somewhere in southern Michigan/northern Ohio seems the most centrally located and fairest for all concerned. Anyone in the southern Michigan/northern Ohio area who has an idea of where to have said picnic is encouraged to contact me. As much as I'd love to have the picnic in Chicago for the sake of Navy Pier and Grant Park, I'm afraid that that would be too far off the beaten track for some folks. Cedar Park was mentioned for the camp grounds and the park itself, but I think the price of such an excursion would be prohibitive to many. Soooo...write me and let me know what kind of a picnic this should be. Should we plan on camping? (anyone willing to donate tens would be well loved in this event) Is it just an afternoon gig? Anyone willing to bring and play musical instruments will be doubly loved. City picnic, park picnic, camping ground picnic, what shall it be? The suggestion to invite our Canadian neighbors has been made, so I extend the invite to them as well. Any Sinister Ontario kids are welcome to come out and play. When you all write me *please* let me know where you are from and how far you can travel, as well as when is the best time for you. I'm aiming for a saturday myself, as this seems to be the best day to toss the picnic. Speak up Sinister brothers and Sisters.
